    coulb HBO influince hopkin/taylor outcome?

    there's been loud whispers from some boxing writers that with hbo grooming taylor and hbo's annoyance with hopkins arrogance and poor market rating in the past that if its a close fight taylor could benefit.

    nady is reffing this one.any one know how he is with hbo ?

    duane ford,jerry roth,paul smith are the judges.

    ive read of don king getting his choices in reffs and judges before. can hbo work that way?

        I think it is possible, HBO has been high on Taylor for his whole career. Nady is a very cautious ref and wont stand for Hopkins bag of tricks if he is caught. So the fight will probably be fought at a distance if Nady is his usual self because he never allows inside fighting it seems. So that is an advantage to Taylor. Also Dibella and Hopkins have a HUGE fued and Dibella use to work for HBO and is pretty much riding on the same penis as everyone else at HBO.

        It is possible and I wouldnt doubt it as HBO is bitter towards Hopkins. But you also have to consider GBP, Oscar is loved by every person at HBO and if anything shady went down their number 1 meal ticket would be shot down the drain.

          i know don king has used his influence to get his refs in so hbo could get people in there that leans towards one boxer.

              this thread was started friday night.

              not too many responses then.

              but now after the fight. maybe there was something to it. i had it a draw.
